The Detroit Lions head into Steelers week with a sharper injury picture and a clearer offensive to-do list. Thursday brought both concern and relief. It also underscored where this NFL team must win situationally, and how the Detroit Lions Podcast sees the fixes lining up. Injury Ledger and Depth Moves Graham Glasgow did not practice with a knee after being listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough. That is a setback. He has stabilized the interior and played better since the 10-day break. Taylor Decker returned on his standard rest plan. Thomas Harper stacked a second full practice and should clear concussion protocol, putting him on track to start at safety. Sione Vaki moved to full. That helps special teams and sub packages. Giovanni Manu was officially activated. The knee injury was a hyperextension, not surgical. Practice reps are the priority. He needs every snap he can get, even as a scout team tackle or emergency sixth lineman. The planet theory applies here. Athletes that big who move like that are rare. The realistic goal is tackle three next year. Getting him back in the building now accelerates that plan. Morton's Offense After Rams Coordinator John Morton loosened up in front of the mics and still drilled the core point. Detroit must get off the ball better in the run game. The Rams teed off when the Lions showed two backs. Safeties crashed the A gap and squeezed the edges. Tight end blocking did not hold up. That shrank lanes for Jahmyr Gibbs and wasted early downs. The Detroit Lions still scored 34, but the tape says there is meat left on the bone. The fix is personnel. Stop leaning on 12 when you do not have two NFL-caliber tight ends available. Lean into the wideouts. Jameson Williams, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Isaac TeSlaa and Kalif Raymond give Detroit burst, leverage, and spacing. More 11 and spread looks stress rules without telegraphing the run fit. It also creates cleaner access throws that let Gibbs and Amon-Ra work after the catch. Morton even joked about foot speed with Williams and Gibbs. The speed is real. Use it. Special Teams and Steelers Prep Dave Fipp backed Jake Bates after a rough outing. The kicker had a bad day. It happens. Confidence from the coordinator matters in December. Hidden yards and calm operations matter even more. The Steelers are up. That front punishes hesitation. Detroit's path is simple to say and hard to do. Win first contact in the run game. Keep protection firm if Glasgow cannot go. Feature tempo and spacing. Rotate receivers and challenge leverage. Trust Bates when points are on offer. The Detroit Lions Podcast view is consistent. Health is trending up, the offensive identity is clear, and the details now decide games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afM4bK-Jj3s #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #dailydlp #grahamglasgow #thomasharper #concussionprotocol #taylordecker #sionevaki #giovannimanu #johnmorton #tightendblocking #jahmyrgibbs #jamesonwilliams Learn more about your ad choices.

Week 16 Home Finale: Steelers Visit Ford Field Week 16 lands in Detroit with the Pittsburgh Steelers coming to town for the Detroit Lions' last home game of the season. The Lions enter off a loss to the Rams, and the Detroit Lions Podcast zeroed in on health and depth as the NFL stretch run tightens. The matchup features an Aaron Rodgers led Steelers offense that does not push the ball deep often, paired with what has been one of the slowest wide receiver groups in the league. That combination makes timing, tackling, and nickel execution pivotal for Detroit's defense. Thomas Harper's return from a concussion changes the look on the back end. He went through a full practice and profiles as the replacement for Brian Branch in the nickel. Against a quarterback who prefers intermediate windows, Harper's quick trigger and slot discipline are timely. The Lions do not have a clean replacement for Kirby Joseph, and that is the core worry in this game. Secondary in Flux: Hallett Out, Garber In, Joseph Trending Out Roster churn hit the safety room. Eric Hallett is no longer a Detroit Lion, signed off the practice squad by the Tennessee Titans after he logged notable snaps against the Rams. He flashed position flexibility, and his exit trims depth right where the Lions could use it most. To backfill, Detroit added Keenan Garber, an undrafted rookie from Kansas State who began his college career at wide receiver before moving to the secondary. He has bounced through the Vikings and Colts practice squads. This is a developmental add, an evaluation play for future contracts, not an immediate fix. Kirby Joseph did not practice Wednesday and Dan Campbell's tone suggests he is unlikely to go this week. That leaves Avonte Maddox as a hybrid answer and increases the burden on communication. Taylor Decker received veteran rest. The walkthrough produced estimated listings with Tristan Colon limited by a wrist, Giovanni Manu limited with a knee, and Sione Vaki limited with a thumb. The Lions will need special teams reliability from Vaki after a rough outing last week. Guard Play Under the Microscope The interior line became a talking point after the Rams loss. Colon opened well at left guard, especially in pass protection, but his play tailed off as the game wore on. Christian Mahogany logged a full practice, and while the staff remains cautiously optimistic, his return would stabilize the spot if he is cleared to dress. If not, clarity on the rotation is needed. Fans keep asking why Miles Frazier, who looked solid in his debut versus the Cowboys, did not see work against the Rams. That remains an open question as Week 16 approaches. The path is straightforward. Clean up guard play, leverage Harper in the slot, and survive at safety without Joseph. Do that, and the Detroit Lions can close their home slate with control against a methodical Steelers offense. The margin is thin, but the plan fits the opponent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M-kUqDDo5A #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #week16homefinale #pittsburghsteelers #fordfield #aaronrodgersledsteelersoffense #slowestwidereceivergroup #nickelexecution #thomasharper #brianbranch #kirbyjoseph #avontemaddox Learn more about your ad choices.

Third-Quarter Meltdown at SoFi The Detroit Lions had a halftime lead at SoFi and left with a lesson. The NFL punishes teams that nap after the break, and the third quarter did the damage. Three straight three-and-outs. Short fields for Los Angeles. The defense buckled. The Rams took whatever they wanted. A slip in the postgame summed it up, calling it a three-quarter game before catching it. That is how it played. The game swung in 15 minutes, and the Lions could not claw back. This was not a one-off blip. It mirrored the recent pattern. Since early October the Lions have whipsawed win to loss to win again. The common thread is the third quarter and the struggle to steady the wheel when the script flips. Against the Rams, the reset out of the locker room never came. The Lions waited until the fourth to find rhythm. Too late. Identity Crisis on Offense The Detroit Lions offense lacks a reliable backbone. In the first half, they found it. David Montgomery churned tough yards. Six carries. Thirty-one yards. Early-down success. Manageable thirds. That is how you protect your quarterback against a strong Rams front and a top scoring defense. Then halftime hit, and the plan dissolved. Early-down chuck and duck. Long thirds. Montgomery vanished. Jahmyr Gibbs struggled to dent the wall. The approach drifted from what worked to what played into Los Angeles' hands. The play-caller change was supposed to clarify things. The overall numbers still look fine on paper, especially scoring. But how the Lions get there shifts week to week and quarter to quarter. That is why the roller coaster persists. This team needs a repeatable core idea. Run to set terms. Stay on schedule. Use play action off that. Until the Lions lock into that, the variance will keep biting good game plans in half. Trenches in Trouble Grey underscores the most urgent problem - the offensive line. Tristan Colon is not the answer at left guard. The film and the result say it. If Christian Mahogany is not ready, Miles Frasier has to be the next man up. Graham Glasgow is gutting it out. Taylor Decker is playing through a shoulder. Penei Sewell gets his ankle wrapped every week while carrying the load. The unit is battered, and it shows when the rotation hits the bottom of the depth chart. The offseason priority is clear, but December is here. Protection and the run game are the lifelines for the identity this offense keeps misplacing. Get Montgomery back in early. Make life simpler for everyone across the front. Pass Rush Plan and Secondary Strain The defensive line plan needs a reset. Time to pressure is among the league's worst, and it played out in Los Angeles. Aidan Hutchinson leads in pressures, but they arrive late. That invites disaster for a man-coverage secondary. Puka Nacua and the Rams feasted while Matthew Stafford sat clean and patient. You cannot ask corners to shadow NFL separators for that long and expect a win rate. Fix it with design, not just effort. Heat early. Change launch points. Win on first down to unlock the rush. If the front speeds up the clock, the coverage can breathe. If not, the Lions will keep chasing games they should control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb1cCPeMh-U #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #third-quartermeltdown #threestraightthree-and-outs #shortfieldsforlosangeles #ramsfront #topscoringdefense #offensivelinedepth #tristancolon #davidmontgomery #jahmyrgibbs #aidanhutchinson Learn more about your ad choices.
